  1. I think it would be 2 of Buendia, Mcginn, Ramsey, Zaniola, Bailey, Tielemans. That for me is brilliant depth and really allows you to think about the way to setup against any team.
  2. Yep, always respect other people's opinions and I also think VP should be a place for everyone.
  3. Dont think I agree. Everyone shouting and screaming at a player doesn't make for a great atmosphere to play in. My favourite atmospheres have always been supportive not aggressive.
  4. yesterday was classic Ollie. Missed the easy chance that he created, scores a classic Ollie goal by showing pace, skill and a great finish on his wrong foot.
  5. the only thing that could change is if the club received a decent offer. Feels unlikely considering age and injury profile but a 10-15m may tempt the club.
  6. makes sense, for your mums situation we buy small compostable bin liners. If you shop at the co op, there bags are also compostable so make a good substitute. It is odd how different policies are applied in different parts of the country. Even within 10 miles of my house, areas how different collection schedules and different bins. Definitely get the challenge of the elderly. If you have enough waste for one small bin, it makes no sense.
  7. What do you do today with your food scraps and why dont they lead to mould, disease and stench? I dont see how a dedicated bin is not better, certainly is for us. You pop a compostable bin liner into the bin, you empty it into a larger bin outside, it gets picked up once a week.
  8. hes a goal threat certainly. sometimes the goals may not feel too important but his goal at Palace and his involvement yesterday really helped us kill the game off. I think being able to bring a player like him off your bench at home is a sign of a great squad. He also played both sides yesterday, something else thats not often given the credit it should get. Im very happy with him.
  9. wouldnt be surprised if this is something about nothing and he starts on Thursday. A knock after an international game and a social media clean up because hes changed agency or something like that. Sometime i think we want something to be bad because everything else is going well.
  10. Maybe, im not convinced ive seen Konsa play as well with Mings next to him. Konsa has commented similar that Mings being unavailable he led to him taking more responsibility. I just wish we had Mings and Pau available. Certainly we have games where it would have been great to pick, or play Pau at left back.
  11. my son had a similar move. He didnt really struggle with the language at first, it was more the anger. He not really seen a fully grown adult act like he wanted to kill someone over a mis placed pass or a ref giving a throw in the wrong way. I remember him feeling really threatened, that is the type of thing that needs to be somehow controlled for me. Its something probably unique to football, odd having to explain to a child that he doesnt really need to worry about the idiot contorted in rage spitting and screaming.
  12. i feel the same and i think its something club should enforce. If youve gone to the trouble of going into a family friendly stand, then language and anger needs to be moderated. If the club is serious about attracting a different fan base, this is important to fix. Else they will simply keep adjusting to price until theyve removed the groups that they want to.
  13. I think it's horses for courses. Zaniola was excellent first half and brought some much needed physicality. Bailey is great to bring on when the game is stretched and the defence tired. Wonder if we'll see Bailey vs Luton to play much wider.
  14. Confused by this, we've had food waste bins for years. As small one in the house and then a large one outside, comfortably enough for a week or twos waste. We just use the compostable bags, all works quite well and stops the big bin from stinking
  15. The things i would expect: 1. discredit labour policies 2. target Starmer as someone with no experience and an unproven leader 3. Attempt to highlight things they perceive to have gone well (vaccination support, some brexit deals, support for Israel/Ukraine 4. Promise some classic tory policies 5. Target some policies they believe latent labour supporters believe to be important (were not going to push Ulez down your throats, we'll debate the BBC license fee, etc).
  16. i think too much is made of the honeymoon thing, many players are called up and dont feature, im sure thats frustrating for the players but equally they will be well aware that this is highly possible but being around the squad allows them the chance to impress. Bouba could have said no, im sure it would have been understood. The other option was Deschamps calling up someone in his place and giving them that opportunity. Surely thats a harsher outcome for Kamara.
  17. That's the reality of the situation. Kane plays, we have one more slot for Toney, Wilson, Watkins, DCL dependant on form and fitness. It's tough on Watkins but England are very well stocked in the front line.
  18. He's 23 and has stats we love from our loan players. Wonder if he ever gets a chance.
  19. I saw. I'm an ST so would just be the top up. The photos looked quite busy though, hope the later kick off gets a few more in.
  20. do you know what, if its done to the original format it has a place. Its supposed to be a group of people that are representative across society just asking each other questions and trying to co-exist. I always found it a fascinating insight into people and why they react the way they do. I was watching last night and they have a muslim female from Wolverhampton talking to a trans female. She had some really basic questions like "if you have sex with a man, is he gay?". And i loved it, was apologetically ignorant and just wanted to use the experience to ask things she just didnt understand. This for me was classic big brother, it went wrong when they got obsessed with personalities, celebrities and hoping people had sex live on tv.
  21. debating using this for the west ham game. Will pop some thoughts in if so. Appreciate that i may come under the wrath of VT but i already work in a bank and staunchly support Ollie Watkins so im used to not being liked.
  22. That's a tough line, nearly all fraud involves incompetence. People are too trusting of a family friend who's a fraudster. People don't understand technology and are manipulated into handing over access to banking apps etc. All are example of incompetence, all avoidable and these encourage fraud. The blame should always sit with the criminals that carry out the fraud.
  23. A good example but also an example of an investigation that may recover funds so not necessarily the type of thing that Starmer is referring to which seems to be the lost billions. I dont personally believe the narrative that the central government would encourage fraud by their friends, i do believe incompetence may enable them to be exploited. Im undecided whether i think a labour government will be better at that.
  24. Are you confusing a few things here. Legitimate companies that benefitted for no apparent gain versus fraud. Labour and the HMRC in particular are talking about fraud generated from schemes created to support covid. Activity like creating a fake company to apply for bounce back loans. While i think the government may have enabled associates/colleagues and many others to benefit from investments made through covid, I dont think ive seen any evidence that they were part of fraud.
  25. the positive way to look at this is that you had got yourself into a position where you were protected if things came up. Thats a good thing and something very many people in the UK fail to achieve.
